Education Expo - Good Stuff!
Hi,
I know I've been quite for a while - there's a lot going on.
First, we at School Report Services are frantically trying to tie up the
School Communications Survey that we did in Australia last year. It's 2
months late - my sincerest apologies. We were not happy with the quality of
the results that were given us - just a couple of bar charts - so we
undertook a deeper analysis of the data, which is proving MUCH more
interesting - it's also proving to be much more difficult and time consuming
than we first thought to prepare a document we think is worthy of further
distribution. When it's done, we will put the survey results on our website
as a free download. We will also be sending it to the schools in Australia
that wanted a personal copy (along with a humble apology letter for being so
late).
Yesterday, I attended the Education and Schools exhibition at Sandton city.
It showcased a selection of some of the BEST schools in South Africa. I was
impressed with the friendliness of the school staff that were there, and
especially impressed with the confidence and good manners of the student
representatives! Well done. It give me hope for the future of independent
education in South Africa! I still hold to my view that independent
education in South Africa is the way to go if you want to get quality
education. Except for the costs involved (which are steep) I wish the public
education sector would take a leaf out of their book, and get of their
collective rear ends and get more proactive in providing AFFORDABLE, QUALITY
education - which should actually be funded by the high taxes we pay.
We are also dramatically revamping our website
(www.SchoolReportServices.com). Here are some of the changes we will be
making:
A totally new look and feel, with a more friendly navigation interface.
New and Updated content
A NEW service (which is secret for now, but just to say, that this service
will provide your school with "missile targeted" marketing opportunities to
pop you way ahead of your competition). This service will be FREE for those
schools that use our standard reporting service.
That's all for now - I'll keep you posted.
